I m uploading 80,000 records in Elasticsearch through Bulk Request .  
It uploaded in 30 secs.  
My doubt is Whether request is send for every record or for whole 80k records single request is send ?

If you are using the bulk API then it's done in one single request.  
If you are using the bulk processor class (which I recommend) then the bulk is sent every x documents or every x seconds (depending on how you configure it).
